A personal note about Gorilla Justice - the book is doing well and I have been asked to assist a film documentary film producer to help establish the mental ill situation in Arizona. This film will be a documentary related to the lack of services pre-arrest - lack of services at pre-trial and the devious plea bargains that take place with the DA and public defenders with no interest whatsoever for the mentally ill person and - last but not least the lack of treatment and services in post trial albeit incarceration situations inside prisons.
When they interview me this week, I will bring up many concerns by family and parents of those incarcerated with seriously mentally ill diagnosis as many suffer from dual diagnosis that includes substance abuse as a result of self-medication and addiction from such self treatments.
